The first on-demand postpartum doula-matching service is here! From boober, the beloved NY- based hub for in-person, on-demand lactation support, comes the world's first on-demand matching platform that immediately connects new parents to vetted, certified postpartum doulas for same-day, in-home help.
Postpartum doulas are the support system all new families need. As Dr. Haywood Brown, president of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) wrote, "The weeks after birth are a critical period for a woman and her infant, setting the stage for long-term health and well-being."
Postpartum doulas provide support to parents in the first days or weeks after welcoming a new baby. Whether it's for a few hours a day, to a few overnights, to longer-term live-in care, a postpartum doula will help parents build confidence in their parenting skills and provide support for the whole family.
Over the past 17 years, boober's sister company Birth Day Presence has matched postpartum doulas with parents searching for trusted expertise and guidance to get through what is now being recognized as The Fourth Trimester. Now boober is using its extensive network to make this process easier than ever with the first on-demand postpartum doula-matching service, because parents often need more support than they anticipated!
Boober's mission is to improve healthcare experiences and outcomes for expectant and new parents. "We launched the on-demand postpartum doula service to fill the current gap in our healthcare system after our lactation families told us they needed more care at home," says founder Jada Shapiro. "Having in-person, in-home postpartum care increases the confidence, wellness, and happiness of new mothers and parents as they transition to parenthood. Postpartum doulas reduce postpartum depression and anxiety, increase breastfeeding rates, and provide emotional and practical support to new parents."
In the American healthcare system, new moms are allotted one postpartum visit from their doctors —six weeks after giving birth! Moms need more help and they often turn to complementary care providers like postpartum doulas. 98% of parents surveyed said that using complementary care providers significantly improved their healthcare experience and well-being. Beyond caring for their babies, mothers from all walks of life say that fulfilling basic personal care needs, completing household chores, and getting sleep are the major challenges during the postpartum period. Add on other factors like caring for older children and dealing with work-related stress (since parental leave remains elusive for many) and it's no wonder that this can be an overwhelming time. Lack of support can even result in postpartum depression and anxiety symptoms, which is why social support is such an essential component for the physical and emotional well-being of new parents.
New families were never meant to do this alone—and now boober can help.
The postpartum doulas on boober provide complete care to new families including:
So how does it work?
Help is only a few clicks away. Parents can go to our website to book an appointment.
Select the date and time that they would like a doula to arrive.
Complete the intake form and submit payment.
Boober will then match them to a qualified, vetted postpartum doula who will come to their house.
Parents can book a postpartum doula for today, tomorrow, or at another point in the future—even if they haven't had their baby yet. All of the postpartum doulas on the boober platform are trained, vetted, certified in infant CPR, and highly reviewed. This service is currently available in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Parents outside of boober's coverage area (or who need a match in fewer than six hours) can text or call 833-266-2371 (833-boober-1).
